Chocolate Covered Apple Cider Caramels

Even though it’s been a hot Miami summer, I am ready for some fall flavor. These Chocolate Covered Apple Cider Caramels are gooey with tons of deep cider flavor encased in a yummy dark chocolate coating. I topped them with some flaky sea salt to add a contrast of flavor and also some crunch.

Making them is not that difficult but it does require a bit of time and patience. I also recommend purchasing a candy thermometer.

They are inexpensive and they will guarantee that your caramels will be cooked at an exact temperature ensuring the perfect texture and flavor. You can purchase them at any kitchen store or HERE at Amazon.

I tried these Chocolate Covered Apple Cider Caramels during my trip to Vermont at the famous Lake Champlain Chocolatier. As soon as I took a bite I was hooked! I couldn’t imagine how they managed to squeeze so much cider flavor into a caramel.

When I went home I tried different recipes I found online and tried adapting them. Unfortunately, it took me 8 tries. YES, 8 TRIES (no kidding) to achieve the perfect flavor and texture I was looking for. Of all the food I’ve made over the years, it has never taken me this long. Therefore, you get the best of all the recipes.

Of all the food I’ve made over the years, it has never taken me this long to get a recipe right, talk about frustrating. In the end, I got it and it’s amazing.

These caramels yield about 60-70 pieces and they are perfect to give out as gifts in a cute box or serve them as dessert to a fancy dinner or with coffee in the afternoon.

Finally, I hope you can try this delicious Chocolate Covered Apple Cider Caramels at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.

Candy is one of my favorite things to make, especially caramels but I find most of the recipes don’t fully set up so if I don’t store them in the refrigerator they are so sticky. Can’t wait to try this recipe!

Recipe tastes great, definitely has a nice apple flavor. On a side note, I. had never melted chocolate in the microwave before, and ended up having my chocolate sieze, so I went back to using double boiler method and everything worked out ok.

I’m glad you liked them! We are addicted to those caramels..especially with the chocolate.
I’m so sorry your chocolate scorched in the microwave. Usually, I burst it for short intervals, remove, stir and then burst it again but a double boiler is definitely the better and fool-proof method.
Thanks for stopping by!
